But Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe Ordered that ME2 Productions, Inc. show cause why the defendants in the case should not be severed.

And, in the meantime while that issue is being resolved, on May 10th Judge Koppe Ordered that the ISPs who had been subpoenaed to turn over the names and addresses of the internet account holders not provide this information:

The Court hereby ORDERS the recipients of the subpoenas not to provide the subpoenaed information pending resolution of the order to show cause. Plaintiff is further ORDERED to immediately serve a copy of this order on the recipients of the subpoenas, and to file a proof of service so indicating by noon on 5/12/17.

Unfortunately, this appears to have been too late. At least according to one caller to Antonelli Law in case number 17-cv-00723 they already received a settlement demand letter from Hamrick & Evans attorney Chaz Rainey about the ME2 Productions lawsuit.
